The E-Sylum: Volume 5, Number 17, April 21, 2002, Article 6
LITTLE "EXTRAS":
Dan Gosling writes "I continue to really enjoy the E-Sylum.
GOOD WORK!
Recently I purchased lot 791 in Kolbe's Sale 87 (March 22,
2002) which included Trowbridge's 1970 "Crowns of the
British Empire". I noticed a spider's web inside the cirlox
binding. On closer examination the web includes a perfectly
preserved Spider.
Does this increase the value of the book as it may be the only
surviving example of a Spider from the library of John
Davenport? Is a Spider in the spine the same as a "fly on the
wall"? Have any of your other readers purchased items with
'extras'?"
